I recently switched to a flip phone and stopped using the smartphone and thought I would ask for your input on how to be more productive while not using a smartphone. Switching to a flip phone may be something I do for a few weeks or more permanently and I am thinking of doing this in order to avoid the distraction that can come from a smartphone.
With the smartphone I tend to spend my time listening to Christian podcasts, playing games of chess with people around the world, and texting friends a lot, enjoying the faster texting speeds. In the past switching to a flip phone meant there was less to do, so I would just go to bed way too early and sleep much more than usual. During my time not using a smartphone, I could be more productive by reading books and playing the guitar more, and memorizing Bible verses and praying more and fill my time with other activities rather than just sleep more. I am thinking I could find more friends in my church to text and call and chat, although I can tend to spend too much time texting even with a flip phone. I am trying to figure out how to be more productive during this time so I would appreciate your ideas. I also do not have my TV connected, do not have Internet, and I could try to go more than once a week to the fitness center I suppose.
